 Romeo and Juliet....... tells as that these original star-crossed lovers are going to die, which amounts to something of a spoiler. Because of this, the audience knows that despite the levity and love in the beginning of the play, this couple is hurtling, unbeknownst to them, towards a tragic fate.

CHORUS

Two households, both alike in dignity

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows

Doth with their death bury their parents’ strife.

The fearful passage of their death-marked love,

And the continuance of their parents’ rage,

Which, but their children’s end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours’ traffic of our stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
